ADIDAS SPZL PRE-SPRING 2024 COLLECTION 

Posted on 2024-04-03

Turning from footwear to apparel and accessories, adidas Spezial’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection plays host to a number of expertly curated looks. Headlining the collection is the already iconic Todmorden Smock. First released in Spring Summer 2021 to an immediate sell out, this season the coveted style returns in two colourways: navy and white. A commemorative 10th anniversary Mod Trefoil tee then brings the Spezial spirit to life as a certified collectors item.  
 
Two lightweight jackets – the Trentham and the Wingrove – constitute perfect spring layering items, while the matching Angelzarke track top and track pants are awash with signature Spezial details. The apparel offering is then rounded out by the Rossendale Short, a Polo shirt, and the Lytham tee. 
 
The accessories offering comprises of the Brinscall bag, a Mod Trefoil cap, a two pack of socks, and a Mod Trefoil towel.  
 
This drop, (which is the first chapter in a range that will span the rest of the year) is brought to life by a campaign film featuring actor and musician Ashley Walters (Top Boy, Bulletproof). Dynamic, iconic, matter of fact – the film and stills created by long term collaborators &SON perfectly encapsulate the energy of the range. 
 
‘It was such an honour to be a part of this campaign. adidas is a brand that I have always aligned with throughout my career, and the Spezial range has only reinforced my love. 10 years of greatness, inclusivity, and connection with culture. Here’s to many more.’ Ashley Walters, March 2024.
